Twenty Four Hours at the Elephant's Trunk Nebula


AMcD

Recommended Posts

This is the final version of my image of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula in IC1396, comprising 24 hours of 300sec integrations.  Taken using a QHY8 OSC with an Optolong L-Extreme filter on a TS152 achromatic refractor mounted on a Losmandy G11 under Bortle 5 skies.  Acquired using SGPro and PHD2.  Integrations stacked using DSS and then processed with Photoshop and StarNet++.

That's a lot of data - and it shows. What a wonderful image.

Thank you very much.  The data was collected over 7 nights, dodging the clouds from late October into November.   I have been curious to see what can be done with twenty four hours of data.  Whilst there is a law of diminishing returns, I think it enables me to get more out of my aging CCD.  It certainly makes processing an easier task.
